All auctions / Asian Art / Colima Conch Shell Pendant with Jade Eyes
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima culture, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A pendant carved from the spire of a conch shell into an abstract anthropomorphic figure. The natural curvature of the shell gives the figure a serpentine form. The head features a mouth, nose, and inlaid jade eyes. A small perforation through the side indicates it was likely worn as a pendant or used as a ritual ornament. In ancient Mesoamerica, conch shell was associated with fertility, water, and divine communication, suggesting this object held ceremonial or talismanic significance. The presence of jade, a highly valued material in Mesoamerican cultures, further indicates the prestige of this piece. Size: 6" L x 1" W (15.2 cm x 2.5 cm); 7" H (17.8 cm) on included custom stand.
